With upcoming launches of new rockets and spacecraft and not to mention the first crude lunar mission in over half a century, 2024 is set to be a busy year in space. Take a look.

Will 2024 be the greatest ever year for space exploration?

As the world eagerly anticipates the dawn of 2024, NASA is setting the stage for a year filled with groundbreaking missions, lunar explorations, and a giant leap toward Mars. The space agency's motto for the year, "Onward and Upward," is capturing the essence of its ambitious agenda.

In a captivating video released on its website, NASA outlined a spectacular lineup of missions that promise to push the boundaries of space exploration.

“Landing science on the Moon, demonstrating quiet supersonic aircraft, and launching two new Earth climate satellites, plus a mission to Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons, are just a few of the milestones we have planned for 2024,” NASA declared in a statement.

The Artemis lunar rover, named VIPER (Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover), is set to touch down on the Moon's South Pole in late 2024. This mobile robot will embark on a 100-day mission into the Moon's extreme environment in search of ice and potential resources and provide crucial details for future human space exploration.

The Artemis mission, a key component of NASA's 2024 agenda, will mark historic milestones by landing the first woman and the first person of colour on the Moon.

These missions will make use of innovative technologies to explore more lunar surfaces than ever before, with an overarching goal of establishing the first long-term human presence on the Moon. The knowledge gained from these endeavours will serve as a springboard for the next monumental achievement: sending astronauts to Mars.

To achieve these ambitious goals, NASA will have the expertise of Axiom Space, which will provide spacesuits for moonwalkers during the Artemis III mission.

This collaboration will underscore the importance of cutting-edge technology in ensuring the success of lunar explorations.

Moreover, NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission to the International Space Station (ISS) is set to take centre stage in 2024. Two astronaut test pilots will participate in this mission, living and working off the Earth for about a week. This mission will be a critical step in NASA's continuous efforts to expand human presence beyond our planet.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is set to race past the sun at a godly speed of 195 km/s, or 435,000 mph on December 24, 2024.

Till now, no human-made object has got so close to the surface of the Sun. The probe will be just 6.1 million km, or 3.8 million miles away from the star's boiling surface.

Speaking to BBC News, Parker project scientist Dr Nour Raouafi said, “We are basically almost landing on a star.”

"This will be a monumental achievement for all humanity. This is equivalent to the Moon landing of 1969," said the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory scientist, while speaking to BBC News.

The probe will get its speed from the immense gravitational pull which it feels as it will move towards the Sun. It will be similar to flying from New York to London in just 30 seconds.

<h2 lang="en-US">Parker Solar Probe and its unearthly challenges</h2>

The Parker Solar Probe of the US Space Agency is one of the most audacious missions to be ever launched. The probe was launched in 2018 and its goal is to make repeated and closer passes of the Sun.

The kind of challenges the probe will face in this mission will be huge. At perihelion, which is the point in the orbit of the probe when it is closest to the star, the temperature on the spacecraft's front will probably reach 1,400ºC.

The strategy of Parker is to get in and out quickly while taking measurements of the solar environment using a suite of instruments which are deployed from behind a thick heat shield.

The researchers have been hoping that they will get a breakthrough in their knowledge of a few key solar processes. Speaking about the mission, Dr Raouafi said, "This takes on a new dimension, especially now that we're thinking of sending women and men back to the Moon and even setting up a permanent presence on the lunar surface.”

Meanwhile, lead scientist on Parker Dr Nicky Fox, while speaking to BBC News said, "We don't know what we'll find, but we'll be looking for waves in the solar wind associated with the heating. I suspect we'll sense lots of different types of waves which would point to a mix of processes that people have been arguing over for years."

U.S. Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley is facing a firestorm of criticism after, instead of mentioning slavery as a cause of the American civil war, she spoke about the role of the government. The 51-year-old republican presidential hopeful is now attempting to clear up her comments in a morning radio interview affirming that 'of course the civil war was about slavery, that's the easy part.'

The Michigan Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected an attempt to remove Donald Trump from the crucial swing state's primary ballot next year over his role in the 2021 storming of the US Capitol.

It was the latest in a series of bids to block Trump from appearing on ballots in multiple states under the 14th Amendment, which says officials who take an oath to support the US Constitution are banned from future office if they "engaged in insurrection."

But Michigan's high court said in a brief ruling it was "not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this court" ahead of the state's February 27 presidential primary.

The decision contrasts with the recent ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court, which kicked Trump off the state's primary ballot over his role in the Capitol riot, which he is accused of inciting.

Trump hailed the Michigan ruling, slamming a "Desperate Democrat attempt" to stack the deck against him as he seeks another term in the White House.

"This pathetic gambit to rig the Election has failed all across the Country, including in States that have historically leaned heavily toward the Democrats," he posted on Truth Social, his social media platform.

Colorado's highest court issued a stay, or freeze, of its bombshell ruling until January 4 pending an expected appeal by Trump's lawyers to the US Supreme Court.

Granting the Colorado case for review would thrust the country's top court into the center of the White House race, as any ruling it makes on whether Trump engaged in insurrection and on his eligibility could be binding on lower courts nationwide.

The Michigan lawsuit was filed in September by Free Speech For People, a pro-democracy advocacy group that also pursued an unsuccessful 14th Amendment challenge against Trump in Minnesota and has filed a case in Oregon.

"The court's decision is disappointing but we will continue, at a later stage, to seek to uphold this critical constitutional provision designed to protect our republic," election lawyer Mark Brewer, who joined the group in the lawsuit, said in a statement.

"Trump led a rebellion and insurrection against the Constitution when he tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election and he is disqualified from ever seeking or holding public office again."

Michigan's lower courts dismissed the case on procedural grounds early in the process, a decision upheld on appeal, meaning the question of whether Trump engaged in insurrection was never addressed.

Justice Elizabeth Welch, one of four Democratic-nominated justices on the seven-member panel, acknowledged the Colorado decision but said that state's election law differed from Michigan's "in a material way" in requiring candidates to be "qualified" to run.

"The appellants have identified no analogous provision in the Michigan Election Law that requires someone seeking the office of President of the United States to attest to their legal qualification to hold the office," Welch wrote.

The 77-year-old Trump is scheduled to go on trial in Washington in March on charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election won by Democrat Joe Biden.

He faces similar election-related charges in Georgia and has been indicted in Florida for alleged mishandling of top secret documents after leaving the Oval Office.

An invitation has been extended to French President Emmanuel Macron to serve as the chief guest at India's Republic Day celebrations in 2024. This marks the sixth instance of a French leader being invited to the momentous event at Kartavya Path on January 26, commemorating the day in 1950 when the Constitution of India came into effect, signifying the nation's transition to a republic. India's gesture reflects the strengthened closeness and trust that has developed between the two countries over time.

India's Republic Day celebrations serve as a stage to highlight diplomatic ties and showcase the strength of the armed forces. Just as witnessed in the recent Republic Day parade, a noteworthy feature of the event is expected to be an Air Show featuring Rafale Jets, underscoring the substantial defence cooperation between India and France.

Important to recall that India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, was the Guest of Honour at the Bastille Day Parade in Paris earlier this year.

Rafale Jets of the Indian Air Force, from the 101 Squadron from Hashimara, formed a part of the flypast during the parade on July 14 in Paris. A 269-member tri-services contingent of the Indian Armed Forces also marched to the tune of "Sare Jahan Se Accha'' at the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

France holds a unique distinction as the only country to have received the highest number of invitations to India's Republic Day parade. In 1976, French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac became the first-ever French leader to be invited as the chief guest for India's Republic Day celebration.

Subsequent invitations were extended to French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing in 1980, President Jacques Chirac in 1998, President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008, and President François Hollande in 2016.

Previously, US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti informed the media that India had extended an invitation to US President Joe Biden to be the chief guest at the Republic Day celebration, but the visit did not materialise.

The American side has not provided a specific reason for President Biden's inability to accept the invitation, with potential explanations including a scheduled State of the Union address and domestic commitments that rendered him unavailable for the grand event in New Delhi.

As a consequence of the US President's inability to travel to Delhi, the planned Quad summit in the Indian capital had to be postponed.

2023 also marks 25 years of the India-France strategic partnership. After PM Modi's visit to the country earlier this year, a roadmap for the next 25 years was released which focused on a number of initiatives including both sides agreeing to explore projects to develop the Indian submarine fleet, French support to build "Shakti Engine", working together in the Indo Pacific, etc.

France has been consistently supporting India's bid to be a member of a reformed United Nations Security Council and backed the listing of Pakistani terrorists at the UN.

Since PM Modi took charge in 2014, India has invited US President Barack Obama in 2015, French President François Hollande in 2016, Crown Prince of UAE Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in 201, all the ASEAN countries in 2018, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2019, Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro in 2020, Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in 2023.

2021 and 2022 saw no chief guests due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The United States Olympic &amp; Paralympic Committee (USOPC) is confident in the security measures planned for next year's Paris Games, the governing body's CEO Sarah Hirshland said. French sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera&nbsp;said&nbsp;on Monday there is no "plan B" for the Games' opening ceremony, days after a man armed with a knife and hammer&nbsp;killed&nbsp;a German tourist and left two people wounded near the Eiffel Tower.&nbsp;

The attack occurred on the Quai de Grenelle - a spot also included in the plans for the opening ceremony of the July 26-Aug. 11 Games. Hirshland said the USOPC was in close contact with French officials and that athlete safety was their top priority. "Our governments are aligned, we have a pretty robust security effort under way and we will continue to have that in place," Hirshland told reporters.

Krystle Kaul, an Indian-origin foreign policy and national security expert rooted in Kashmir, has declared her candidacy for the US House of Representatives from Virginia's 10th Congressional District, aiming to address key issues like public safety, education, and healthcare.

If successful in the 2024 elections, Kaul would become only the second Indian-American woman in the House of Representatives, following Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal. Notably, Pramila's sister, Susheela Jayapal, has also entered the race for the Congress from Oregon's third Congressional District.

Both Kaul and Susheela Jayapal, representing the Democratic Party, will contend in the party's primary next year to secure nominations for the November 2024 general elections.

Fluent in eight languages, including Hindi, Punjabi, Dari, Urdu, and Arabic, Kaul, the first Kashmiri-origin individual to run for Congress, draws from her extensive background in the national security sector, spanning the Pentagon, think tanks, and the defence industry.

"We have a lot of small business owners and just making healthcare more affordable and more accessible. So from prescription drugs to seeing specialists, that is something that is a concern. And the third is public safety, making sure we have safe neighbourhoods, safe schools, safe communities,” Kaul, told PTI in a recent interview.

<h2>Focus on core issues</h2>

Education, healthcare, and public safety are the pillars of Kaul's campaign. The 10th Congressional District, encompassing areas with a high concentration of Indian Americans and South Asians in Virginia, provides a strategic platform for her candidacy.

Kaul underlines education as her primary focus, stressing on&nbsp;the need for affordable and accessible healthcare, particularly for small business owners. Ensuring safe neighborhoods, schools, and communities aligns with her commitment to public safety.

With a strong background in national security, Kaul pledges a robust stance on counter-terrorism. Drawing inspiration from her father's narratives about the Kashmir conflict during her childhood, she expresses a profound interest in understanding and addressing the issues in the region.

"I had a desire to eventually run for Congress. But obviously, it's a path. It's a journey to get there. So I first devoted my studies, my first three degrees, to understanding diplomacy, negotiation, political science, and all the theory that you need to understand,” she said

Kaul's journey towards Congress began with a dedication to understanding diplomacy, negotiation, political science, and conflict resolution, reflected in her pursuit of three degrees. Her comprehensive approach to national and international issues reflects her commitment to a holistic understanding of governance.

Who is Krystle Kaul? Indian-American national security expert running for US Congress

Bulgarian mystic Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, commonly known as Baba Vanga, may have died 26 years ago, but her predictions are said to have come true till now, though there is hardly any proof to verify this.

Vanga was believed to have had an extraordinary ability to predict the future, so much so that she eventually earned the moniker "Nostradamus&nbsp;of the Balkans".

However, are they really predictions? They are better to be seen as "words of wisdom"&nbsp;written down. As time passes by, her followers seem to interpret her words according to the events of the day.

Her believers across the world continue to place their earnest faith on her.

For 2024 as well, she has made some astonishing predictions. From assassination attempts on Russian President Vladimir Putin, to terrifying natural disasters, Vanga has dropped some fair share of premonitions for next year, according to interpretations by her followers.

For 2024, she has made seven prophecies. They are: 

<h2>1. Assassination attempts on Putin</h2>

There have been arguably many assassination attempts on Putin. Regarded as one of the most powerful men on earth, the Russian president continues to attract supporters and detractors.

Baba had a vision that Russian president&nbsp;Vladimir Putin&nbsp;would be assassinated by someone from his country next year, the Mirror reported citing Astrofame.

<h2>2. Terrorist attacks will increase in Europe</h2>

According to Baba Vanga, a "big country" will carry out biological weapons tests or attacks in 2024. She has also predicted that terrorists attack Europe.

<h2>3. Huge economic crisis</h2>

A major economic crisis is about to erupt next year, predicted Baba. She highlighted several contributing factors such as an increase in debt levels, further geopolitical tensions, and economic power shifting from the West to the East.

<h2>4. Terrifying climate events</h2>

The mystic predicted that there would be an orbit alteration which usually takes place over a long period of time. However, if this happens over a short period of time, it could spark issues including climate disruption and a spike in radiation levels.

<h2>5. Cyber attacks</h2>

She stated there will be a rise in cyber attacks as advanced hackers will directly look at vital infrastructure such as power grids and water treatment plants. She predicted it will lead to a national security threat.

<h2>6. Medical breakthroughs</h2>

In the field of medical science, Baba says that there will be a major breakthrough. New treatments will be invented for incurable diseases like the Alzheimer's. She also predicted there will be a cure for cancer in 2024.

Assassination attempts on Putin to calamitous climate events: Here are Baba Vanga’s 2024 predictions

Indian firm Skyroot Aerospace shot to fame by launching India's first privately-built rocket 'Vikram-S'. After the successful upper-atmospheric rocket launch mission in November 2022 helped them prove their fundamental technology, the firm promised to launch a more advanced rocket 'Vikram-1', that would orbit satellites in space. This maiden spacefaring rocket launch is planned for the first quarter of 2024. Skyroot has also signed a pact to launch the satellites of French firms Promethee Earth Intelligence and ConnectSAT.&nbsp;

Skyroot elaborated that their pact with&nbsp;Prométhée Earth Intelligence was to provide satellite launch services aboard its Vikram rockets for their JAPETUS earth observation constellation.&nbsp; With Expleo and ConnectSAT, they signed a trilateral pact where Expleo will provide Reconfigurable Software for ConnectSAT's IoT Satellite, set to launch on the Vikram-I rocket, building the futuristic OSIRIS satellite constellation.&nbsp;

These MoUs were signed at the Skyroot facility in Hyderabad, as part of the visit of a French business delegation. As a result of these pacts, the French firms would be able to use the pay-and-launch services offered by Skyroot's Vikram series of rockets. The commercial terms and specifics of the pacts are to be worked out between the firms. The pact to launch the French satellites doesn't cover a single mission. Instead, it could happen over multiple launches, the firm said,&nbsp;

The MoU between Prométhée and Skyroot was signed by Olivier Piepsz, Co-Founder and CEO of Prométhée, and Co-Founders of Skyroot Aerospace, Pawan Chandana and Bharath Daka. This follows the exploratory understanding made between the two companies in Paris in July, 2023.&nbsp;The trilateral agreement between Expleo, ConnectSAT, and Skyroot was signed between Abdoulahi Ben Moussa Dia, CEO of ConnectSAT, Frédérique Rebout, Director Alliances and Partners, the Skyroot Co-founders.

Olivier Piepsz, CEO of Prométhée, expressed, "The strategic relationship between India and France, coupled with the Indian government's inclusion of the private sector in its remarkable space endeavors, presents an extraordinary opportunity for both our companies." He highlighted that 50% of Prométhée's satellites require specific orbital requirements, making Skyroot's Vikram launch vehicles an ideal choice for deploying a portion of their satellite constellation.&nbsp;

Gaining customers is a major milestone for an emerging rocket firm, as the firm is primarily dependent on customers who wish to avail their rocket as a ride to space. The revenue earned because of such commercial launches could also propel the company to further their operations and launch activities. Notably, the Indian Space agency ISRO's commercial arm has earned millions in foreign revenue, by launching nearly 430 satellites from International and Indian customers.&nbsp;

Unlike the Vikram-S, Skyroot's Vikram-1 will feature liquid propulsion technology which is more efficient and advanced, thereby making it tough to master. Skyroot's&nbsp;Vikram series of rockets use advanced manufacturing technologies and processes including 3D printing, carbon composite bodies and modular framework that can suit multiple space launch requirements and orbital deployments.

This is the first significant announcement leading up to the 2024 Senate elections, which caught the Democrats off guard. This was followed by a frantic search for a new candidate to fill the vacant Michigan Senate seat. In a statement, Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow said that she has been inspired by a new generation of leaders to pass the torch in the US Senate. However, she also added that she will complete her six-year term which will end on 3 January 3, 2025.

<h2>Who is Debbie Stabenow?&nbsp;</h2>

Stabenow, 72, was the first woman from Michigan who was elected to the US Senate. She pointed to history and remarked that she had always thought that being the first was insufficient; there needed to be a "second" and a "third."&nbsp;Stabenow began her tenure in the Senate in 2001. She earlier also served in the House in 1997. She had held positions in the state House and Senate before being elected to Congress. She now chairs the Senate Democratic Policy Committee and the Agriculture Committee, among other leadership positions in the Democratic Party. Since Senator Gary Peters and D-Mich entered Congress in 2015, they have worked together. The tenure of 21 Senate Democrats will end in 2025.&nbsp;

<h2>What is on the plate after retirement?&nbsp;</h2>

After her retirement from US Congress, Stabenow looks forward to spending time with her mom and family. However, Debbie will continue to serve the state outside of the elected office. Stabenow said when her term ends, she intends to begin a new chapter in her life that includes continuing to serve her state outside of the elected office while spending precious time with her amazing 96-year-old mom and her wonderful family.

<h2>Who is in Michigan Senate race?&nbsp;</h2>

In November, Democrats were re-elected to a number of statewide positions, including governor Gretchen Whitmer. Others whose names will be on the list include the lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and state senator Mallory McMorrow. McMorrow received national attention last year after going viral with her criticism of anti-LGBTQ sentiments. Democratic US. Representatives Haley Stevens and Elissa Slotkin may possibly be interested in promotions. A source quoted by a media outlet said Rep. Debbie Dingell will not run for the seat during the 2024 Senate elections. Meanwhile, on the Republican side, John James is seen as a prospect. It will be difficult for Democrats to maintain their majority in the upcoming election.
